Ray Tracing and Image Analysis for Gradient Index Media: Atmospheric Refraction Application

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Expressions are developed for tracing rays through a medium with a persistent refractive index gradient. Interpretations are provided for image displacement and warping. Time-lapse imaging results for a 15km path are evaluated.
